[Elecraft] K3 roofing filter group delay

[Brian Lloyd]

A number of messages have gone back and forth here about roofing  
filters. We did mention group delay but I wonder if Elecraft can  
provide group delay characteristics for the various filters offered  
for the K3.

Seems to me that, in general, fewer poles tend to provide better  
group delay in a filter at the expense of the skirts. OTOH, if the  
skirts in the roofing filter are sufficient to attenuate a strong,  
undesired signal so that it cannot cause desense, then it strikes me  
that the 5-pole filters might actually provide superior performance  
for digital communications.
